3D Functional Calf Stretch by City Osteopaths Reg Osteopath Lewis Jenner

3/24/2019

0 Comments

 
We had a great response to our hip mobility video, so we decided to follow it up with 3D functional calf stretch.
You may be doing the type of calf stretch where you hang your heels off the edge of a curb? If so, you may want to try this calf stretch instead, which creates mobility that will carry over into your running or walking gait. Get the most out of the 3D calf stretch, by doing it before the 3D hip stretch. All you runners and walkers out there, give it a go!

Hip mobility running stretch to improve performance and reduce injuries, by Reg. Osteopath Lewis Jenner

2/14/2019

​Following on from our previous running blog, we decided to make a short video, demonstrating a simple and effective hip mobility stretch, to help you get the most out of running and reduce the chances of injury.

Mobility is an essential component in all sports. Creating mobility through stretching is essential and the most effective stretches are those that look, in the whole or part like the sport that you are preparing for. Notice how the hip stretch in the video is performed in a running type posture and creates the hip movements that will carry over into improved running performance.  Give it a go and let us know what you think!

City Osteopaths can help with your running injuries

11/10/2018

0 Comments

 
​Summer is around the corner and many Wellingtonians are back on the road, getting the miles under their belts.  Unfortunately, some keen runners are dogged by injuries, that either limit their progress or stop them running completely.   In some unfortunate cases, these running related injuries can affect you when you are simply walking, or going about your daily lives.  
Picture
Common running injuries include:
  • Runners knee
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Hamstring strains
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Shin splints
  • Iliotibial band Syndrome (ITBS)

A pattern that we often see with our patients is that just as they start running and begin to make progress, then injury strikes.  So, they ease off or even stop running completely and the pain goes away.  Then, when you feel able to run again and increase your mileage, the pain comes back.  Sound familiar?...

At City Osteopaths, we offer a unique and effective approach to resolving running injuries.  This includes:
  • Providing an accurate diagnosis
  • Performing specialist functional movement assessment to understand the root cause of your injury
  • Providing effective hands on treatment to help injured tissues heal
  • Prescribing personalised exercise programs to help patients recover from injury, remain injury free and become better runners.

One unique aspect of our approach at City Osteopaths, that sets us apart from other clinics, is our accurate understanding of human function and running gait mechanics, as they relate to the whole body, not just the legs.  This is the result of specialist training undertaken at the Gray Institute in the USA, with some of the worlds leading specialists in injury prevention and rehabilitation.  We assess your top-to-toe movement, which enables us to get to the root of the problem.

Our goal at City Osteopaths is to:
  • Diagnose and resolve patients running injuries
  • Provide a management plan to help you remain injury free
  • Enable you to become better runners!
 
A wise person once said “When you want to look for a problem, you need to know where to look…”

Come and see us at City Osteopaths, to let us help make you a better runner

City Osteopaths Real Deal Hurt Cream

11/26/2017

The Real Deal Hurt Cream is a wonderful adjunct to the work we do as hands on primary healthcare practitioners at City Osteopaths healthcare.

Perfect to Support Healing. Pleasant & Safe to Use for All the Family

For any kind of injury, pain or swelling, to aid recovery from neck and back stiffness; sports injuries, post-surgery during pregnancy for leg, foot and back discomfort; for children's bumps and bruises and other conditions like arthritis, eczema, psoriasis and sunburn.

An added bonus we discovered is that gently massaged on the back on the muscles lying beside the spine between the shoulder blades it will help ease or completely stop a night time cough. Very useful for children or adults so everyone can get a good night sleep.

Real Deal Hurt Crème has a pleasant scent, and when applied, you will experience a general warming of the tissues without the strong burning sensation common to some other products. Therefore, the Crème should be compatible with all skin types and sensitivities. It absorbs totally leaving the skin oil free.

In our practice we sell it slightly below recommended retail (21.90) at $19.90 so its a little more accessible for people and it is an extremely popular product.

Arnica
Perfect for traumatic injuries and the associated physical shock, particularly bruising, fractures, dislocations and inflammatory pain
Calendula
Relieves pain, staunches bleeding, prevents infections and stimulates general skin healing
Hypericum
Calms and soothes nerve damage, helpful for crush injuries and excessive pain
